Multiple vehicles and officers at incident at Steynton housing estate

A SIGNIFICANT police presence was reported at Plas Peregrine in Steynton, Milford Haven on Saturday (May 31), following what residents described as a serious disturbance at one of the properties.

At least five Dyfed-Powys Police vehicles, including marked vans and response cars, arrived at the scene, with witnesses saying the first four arrived within minutes using emergency lights and sirens. Officers were seen entering a property and speaking to people outside.

Photos shared with The Pembrokeshire Herald show officers attending a house on the estate and engaging with a growing group of bystanders near a play area.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that a man may have been arrested during the operation, although police have not issued a formal statement. The reason for the response has not been confirmed.

The Herald understands that the same address was involved in court proceedings earlier this year following a complaint of anti-social behaviour in another part of Pembrokeshire.

Dyfed-Powys Police have been approached for comment.

Court hears woman turned to cocaine to cope

A WOMAN struggling with the anniversary of the Haverfordwest paddleboard tragedy turned to cocaine to cope, a court heard.

Vicki McKinwen, 53, was stopped by police while driving a Volvo V70 in Milford Haven and later found to have 363 micrograms of benzoylecgonine in her system, well above the legal limit.

Her solicitor Jess Hill said McKinwen had been directly affected by the tragedy and her mental health deteriorates around the anniversary.

“She now understands the consequences and never wants to use drugs again,” she added.

McKinwen, of The Square, Hubberston Road, Milford Haven, was banned from driving for 12 months. She was fined £138 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £55 surcharge.
